Dog Walking McDonalds Mill

About: I have lived with dogs my entire life and have been tasked with taking care of others dogs as well. I would love to take your dogs on walks, play fetch in the backyard, or just lounge around all day. I have yet to meet a dog I didn’t like and am not afraid to deal with any messes if needed. I'm currently in school and my schedule can change per week (not by much), but I will work with you to figure out what dates and times work for the both of us! Rover doesn't let me customize my availability by day, but this is my usual schedule: Mon: usually free, may have class scheduled 1-4 Tue: in class 9-4 Wed/Thurs: in class 9-3:30 Fri-Sun: free! If anything changes that prevents me from caring for your pets, I will let you know ASAP! I care for pets by providing a comfortable and loving environment for your pet while you’re gone. I am more than willing to do whatever it takes to make your pet feel like it’s just another day at home! I understand some pets may not react well to strangers initially, but I am extremely patient and will work with your pet to reach a trusting relationship.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all of my life. My family currently has a Golden Retriever, an Australian Shepherd, an English Bulldog, and 2 cats. I personally have a cat who lives with me at my apartment. I had lots of experience on Rover in summer of 2024. I received great reviews from many different pet owners, and I even had multiple regular clients whose pets I loved visiting. During this time, I offered drop-in and home sitting services for dogs and cats. Breeds varied from Australian Shepherds that needed lots of playtime and attention to older mixed-breeds who just loved to cuddle on the couch. I didn’t offer much dog sitting at the time, but I had one regular client in the winter of 2023 who I did drop-in visits for as well as walking their young Pit Bull mix with no issue. I am currently a junior at Virginia Tech. My classes are pretty spread out through the week, so I have lots of breaks to do drop-ins or walking. My weekends are usually totally free! Tuesdays: 7am-11am, 7pm-11pm Wednesdays: 7am-9am, 1:30pm-7pm, 9:30pm-11pm Thursdays: 7am-4pm, 7:30pm-11pm Fridays: 7am-11am, 4pm-11pm Weekends: Times vary, but mostly open I’m available for anything you may need me to do to care for your pup or kitty at your home! I can play with them, give them love, take them on walks, or leave them be if they’d prefer that. I can let them outside/walk them as much as they need and feed them when instructed. I can administer medication and fulfill any other needs that your pup or kitty may need.

About: My experience comes from caring for my own dog and my sister’s dog. I’m comfortable with frequent walks and potty breaks, including for dogs still working on house training. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, helping with bathing and basic grooming, administering routine medication, and measuring meals to follow specific dietary needs. I carefully follow owners’ instructions and am patient and happy to adapt to each dog’s routine, whether they enjoy outdoor time or prefer a slower pace. I’m a student with classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Most of my other commitments are remote, apart from occasional meetings, giving me flexibility around my classes. For boarding and overnight stays, I’m available Monday after 7:30 PM through Tuesday, as well as Saturdays and Sundays. For walks, drop-in visits, and longer care sessions, I’m available Tuesdays, Thursdays, Friday after 4:30 PN, and weekends. During longer stays, I can keep your pet company while completing schoolwork between care tasks. We’ll confirm your pet’s needs and my availability before booking. I’ll take time to learn your pet’s routine, behavior, and care needs before booking. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and any household rules. I’ll keep dogs leashed on walks, check that doors and gates are secure, and send updates and photos. We’ll also discuss how long your pet can comfortably be alone to make sure my schedule is a good fit. For boarding, I live in an apartment with my own room and bathroom, and big living room. I also have a pool and nice area to have walks! I will spend a lot of time giving walks and staying outside if needed!

“Hannah arrived on time and had an excellent repoire when first meeting our 2 dogs. She was friendly and polite, and on the day she took care of the pups she sent photos. An excellent experience! Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have nearly 7 years of dog sitting experience starting in middle school. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities and I pride myself on being extremely attentive, reliable, and detail oriented with every pet. I have experience handling multiple dogs at once including caring for up to five dogs for 7+ days, so I’m very comfortable with both longer stays in higher-energy households. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I also provide consistent updates so you can feel confident and not ease while you’re away. I’m a student at Virginia Tech with a flexible schedule, typically having at most two classes a day. Outside of class, I spent most of my time at home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. My routine makes it easy for me to incorporate walks, feeding, playtime, and check-in consistently. I’m able to adapt to each pets needs and schedule, whether that means early mornings, midday visits, or evening care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a pet friendly apartment with a fence dog area, so dogs have a safe place to get outside and play. I’m very attentive and make sure pets are always supervised and cared for based on their specific needs and routines. I also keep owners updated regularly so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I've been taking care of dogs, both my own and others, since I was 13! I have also volunteered at animal shelters, where I played with dogs, took them on walks, and engaged with them. I am currently a full-time student at Virginia Tech. My availability during the week varies, but I will always make time to care for your pet! I can do whatever you request! I live in an apartment, so I do not have any room to house pets; however, I have a car to transport myself wherever you are!

About: I'm a third-year veterinary student who is home for the summer offering multiple pet care services. Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember — I started pet sitting when I was 12 and have been lucky to care for so many wonderful pets over the years. I have experience with dogs, cats, small mammals, horses and cows. Studying veterinary medicine has only deepened my passion for making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for like family. As a veterinary student, I feel comfortable working with pets who have special needs and medical care. I am familiar with giving medication to both dogs and cats. I’m passionate about providing knowledgeable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I’m currently in 4th year rotations for vet school so my schedule can get busy but I do have availability most evenings and weekends. I do not have the capabilities to house a pet at my home but I am willing to accommodate all of the owners needs in their home.

About: Grown up with dogs my entire life! Had 5 dogs at one time at one point. Owned and comfortable with breeds such as Rottweiler, Golden Retriever, Dachshund, Husky, and more! Free most days as I have breaks in the middle of the day between classes almost every day! Also comfortable pet/house-sitting if we discuss and agree on details/expectations prior! I’ve always treated all pets, most of all dogs a part of the family, both my own and my friends and families pets. I’d treat your dog like I was watching your child because I know that that’s exactly how he or she feels to you!

“Stephanie S. did a great job. She was punctual, kind, followed all instructions for our reactive dog and they did very well together. We were very pleased. Thank you very much Stephanie.”

About: Hi there! My name is Kaitlyn and I have experience with everything from horses, to wolf-dogs, down to cockatoos and fish! I live a pretty active lifestyle, and love taking my guy out for runs and adventuring/hiking around the area. I would love to go exploring with your pups! I absolutely adore animals and treat them all with the utmost respect. I have experience with both puppies as well as senior dogs and have been around animals all my life. I started young with family pets and have recently within the past 4 years gotten one of my own! I own a Husky, German Shepherd/Malamute who's my big ole baby Potato! He's absolutely my whole life and if you can imagine it wasn't easy finding someone who was able to watch him without the help of Rover, which is why I wanted to also contribute and try and help others out because it's saved me in a bind or two! I don't mind larger dogs or high energy as my guy is the same way! I'd love to meet you and your pup, what girl can resist a couple of good boys?! I currently work part time with my grandparents taking care of them in their golden years so my hours are flexible and I’m happy to help out whenever I can, and will guarantee you a quick response! I currently do not offer care in my home, however, I would love to come to yours! I am very conscious of other people's homes and how comfortable your pets will be in the safety of their own space!

“Sydney is so good with our Enzo! She’s attentive to how he’s feeling on the walk (which is key with the heat and his puppy age), what training we’re working on (she reinforces what we’re focusing on), and making sure he has a great time. She’s our go to!”

About: What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong love for animals and the deep-rooted experience that comes from growing up surrounded by them. From a young age, I’ve cared for a variety of pets—big and small—which taught me not only responsibility but how to connect with animals on a personal level. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends, family, and others who have reached out, trusting me to care for their pets as if they were my own. My approach is always compassionate, attentive, and tailored to each animal’s unique needs, providing both pets and their people with comfort and peace of mind. As a graduate student, I have a flexible and well-structured schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet sitting. I can be available for regular visits, walks, feedings when needed. Pet sitting brings me joy and a sense of balance. It’s a meaningful way for me to stay active, reduce stress, and do something I genuinely love alongside my studies. I care for pets with plenty of affection, playtime, and a calm, structured routine that helps them feel secure while away from their owners. When caring for pets at a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines closely, keeping things consistent and stress-free. I always communicate clearly with pet parents, provide updates, and treat every animal with the same care and respect I give my own.

About: Hello! My name is Hayley and I am an animal lover of all kinds. I had a chihuahua for 14.5 years until I had to say goodbye to him in august of 2024. Since then I have found joy in helping others take care of their furry family members. My Pedro was special needs so I am comfortable giving meds or helping with disabled animals as well. I promise to take care of your babies just like they are my own! Same day bookings and short notice bookings will be dependent on my full time work schedule as I work 3 twelve hour night shifts a week but please always reach out as I may be available! I am also willing to pet sitting for other animals like chickens, hedgehogs, etc. Just ask!! I am a full time night shift nurse so my schedule is crazy but allows me to spend the days with your pet. I am also able to get several days in a row off and spend 24/7 with your pet, if scheduled within enough time! If selected, I would treat your baby as if they are my own and would go above abd beyond in caring for them. I am unable to bring pets to my home but am more than happy to care for them in the comfort of their own homes.

“Gracie is wonderful! I appreciate very much her prompt communication and the photos of my pups. We are so thankful to have such a kind, compassionate person looking in on our fur babies while we're away.”
